Thanks for using my comic. Here's it's home: http://smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=1067

This is one of those instances where I'm really happy to use reddit, flaws and all, because I have a chance to directly communicate with a person I admire. I'm a huge fan of your work; as a longtime reader, your commitment to diversity in your comics is some of the most seamless I've ever seen, and I fully believe it does a great deal to normalize representations of marginalized groups while telling relatable and smart jokes. Thanks for contributing a net good to society.

For real, I always use SMBC as a counterpoint when people say "well if we included a black man, it would be obvious that he's there only because he's black"

SMBC has such a flawlessly diverse cast and I'm so happy about it. Keep doing what you're doing, sir.

Same with gay characters. I don't check the comic as often as I used to, but I've never seen anything where a character seems out of place due to an immutable characteristic like that. There's a real talent and deliberate skill to creating the sort of consistent environment of a lowkey equality utopia in the comics.

Zach's (MrWeiner's) brother Marty is actually reddit's new CTO: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3hgni3/reddit_names_marty_weiner_founding_engineer_at/

So he's like reddit's uncle or something now, I don't really know how this works.

Hey, you're a cool person who makes cool comics.

I linked the direct image link for people who use RES. I'll keep in mind to add the home link next time, too. :)

I enjoy your comics apart from the ones that poke fun at philosophy. I cannot take a joke

The ones that satirize nihilism hit hard :'(

for me it was the one that has mathematicians, physicists etc "solve" philosophical problems (trolley problem, Mary's room etc) with a bit of lateral thinking and "common sense". It got me so mad

[–]Thesket 23ポイント24ポイント  (4子コメント)

I thought those were satirising scientists who think they can solve philosophical problems?

I am overly defensive and paranoid

Pet theory: Defensiveness corresponds to local respect/affluence.

Economists and engineers love being mocked.

Every time I make fun of humanities, some fragile soul is affronted.

And I have a goddamn Literature BA, and you can all suck it.

As an economist, I can confirm.

Seriously, I thought it was obvious. I mean, look at the Gettier problem one.

They are usually nihilist straw men tho. I've subscribed to pretty hardcore nihilism moral, epistemological, existential, for a long time now, and I never say or think 99% of the stuff everyone else seems to associates with nihilism.

It doesn't exactly provide a lot of utility, but that's not the point of philosophy, is it?

[–]natalia___ 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

It doesn't matter anyway

Gonna take a moment to fanboy atcha and say I really enjoy your comics and I miss SMBC theatre. Also do you have something that tells you when someone links your comics? I don't think I've ever seen you in /r/circlebroke before.
